I think this behavior is not obvious. I have a very big problem - not enough space for all buttons Would like to add at least two: New File and New Folder.

QUESTION...

I am really really really going to have to refactor that menu system anyway for the lower devices.

There is no way to navigate "off the top" of the tree-view using just the 5-way controller.. and even if there was a way... the SELECTED item would always be the top one...

What about making a single-click event cause a - JUMP to the top menu...

or

even betterremove the top menu and replace it with a pop-up menu (wrapped in a "GtkScrollView") this would allow for MANY more option/items... and it would work an all devices. this would also preserve the SELECTED ITEM in all cases...

Thoughts on that?

Reason: preserving the SELECTED ITEM

to keep it simple... I would have OPEN as the top option in all cases... Greyed out if there was no default "opener" (including folders)

I could handle the extra clicks.

double click might be "challenging" to comprehend for some.

but I see your point... possibly there is an argument for a proper "branch" or even Fork...
however it would be nice to detect the Touchscreen capabilities and simply offer that extra "drill-down into folders without pressing open" on those devices.

will think about the double click thing... it's a decent idea.
